1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundIn regions with limited donor availability, optimizing efficiency in lung transplant decision-making is crucial. Preoperative prediction of 1-year graft failure can enhance candidate selection and clinical decision-making.

methodsWe utilized data from the Korean Organ Transplantation Registry to develop and validate a deep learning-based model for predicting 1-year graft failure after lung transplantation. A total of 240 cases were analyzed using 5-fold cross-validation. Among 25 preoperative factors associated with 1-year graft failure, we selected the top 9 variables with coefficients ≥ 0.25 for model development.

resultsOf the 240 lung transplant recipients, 55 (22.92%) developed graft failure within 1 year, while 185 survived. The final predictive model incorporated nine key pretransplant factors: age, bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome after hematopoietic cell transplantation, pretransplant bacteremia, bronchiectasis, creatinine, diabetes, positive human leukocyte antigen crossmatch, panel reactive antibody 1 peak mean fluorescence intensity, and pretransplant steroid use. The multilayer perceptron model demonstrated strong predictive performance, achieving an area under the curve of 0.780 and an accuracy of 0.733.

conclusionsOur machine learning-based model effectively predicts 1-year graft failure in lung transplant recipients using a minimal set of pretransplant variables. Further validation is needed to confirm its clinical applicability.
